The largest skiable domain in the Pyrenees is known as Grandvalira! It stretches over 193km of pistes including the resorts of Soldeu, El Tarter, Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Canillo & Encamp. The ski area covers such a wide area so it is definately worth having a Grandvalira piste map on you. You will find Grandvalira piste maps in just about every hotel reception, plus the ticket windows by the foot of the pistes. It is best to carry a piste map with you to help you find your way around, but it also has the mountain restaurants and facilities marked on so you can set meeting points for your group and all get together for lunch!
